It can be hard to find a good example of a Summar, and it took me a few
tries before someone sold me one that Sherry had worked her magic on.  It
was a keeper.  The lens is extraordinarily compact for a f2, and can be
wonderful for portraits using natural light when not really stopped down.
This is a very special lens that, while perhaps not the best for everyday
use, has much to commend it.
